Test 2: Lecture 6 Flashcards
left lateral: what side is down?
left is on the table
what part of the patient is non dependent?
the side not on the table
on a left lateral: the left side is the dependent side, the side closest to the table. The right side is the non dependent side
VD
ventral dorsal
pet laying on its back
hits dorsal then ventral
positional atelectasis
collapse/compression of the lung
if pet on side, gravity will squish the lung
inspiration or expiration will give better image?
inspiration more air = more contrast= easier to see nodule
what view?
VD of diaphragm can see a V
what view?
DV, dome shape
left lateral (left side down)
Y pattern
right lateral diaphragm
caudal vena cave going into the R crus of the diaphragm
this is a left lateral view
lobes of the lung in VD
lung lobes in lateral
lobes of the right lung
lobes of the left lung?
what is the lung triad
pulmonary artery and vein and the bronchi
what is the white nodule?
that is a pulmonary vessel that is coming toward or away from the xray
label the triad
artery is always more lateral to bronchus
label the lung triad
artery is always dorsal to the bronchi
the pulmonary artery is always ____ on a VD and always ___ on a lateral view
lateral to the bronchus
dorsal to the bronchus
label the bronchial tree
label the bronchial tree
the mediastinum is thinker ventrally or dorsally
dorsally
which side does the mediastinum deviate towards?
left
dorsal mediastinal insertion
little bump is the aortic arch
ventral mediastinal insertion
(slightly to the left)
find trachea
vena cavae
right side
what side of the vena cavae has air next to it on the lateral and VD view?
ventral margin
right margin
three mediastinal lymph nodes
sternal
cranial mediastinal
lateral and middle tracheo-bronchial LN
clock face analogy of lateral thorax
1-2 L atrium
2-5 LV
5-9 RV
9-12 RA PA Aorta
clock face analogy VD
11-1 aorta
1-2 pulmonary arteries
2-3 L auricle
3-5 LV
5-9 RV
9-11 RA
when can you see pleural space
pleural effusion or pneumothroax
You take a lateral abdominal radiograph of a 5 year old intact male dog with an ideal body condition (not too fat, not too lean). Assuming the patient is normal, all of the following can potentially be visualized on this image, EXCEPT:
Cecum
Pancreas
Spleen
Prostate
Right kidney
Pancreas
Which of the following statements about normal radiographic anatomy is FALSE?
On a left lateral abdominal radiograph, the caudoventral margin of the liver is often the margin of the left lateral liver lobe.
The cecum is located in the right mid abdomen.
On a lateral abdominal radiograph the normal liver does not extend caudal to the costal arch.
The gastric fundus is located in the right cranial abdomen.
On a lateral abdominal radiograph, the craniodorsal extremity of the spleen may be seen in the craniodorsal abdomen caudal to the stomach.
The gastric fundus is located in the right cranial abdomen.
Main pulmonary artery
Left auricle (2-3 o’clock)
the veins or the arteries are larger in the triad?
veins
The left atrium (12 to 2 o’clock)
